Do you eat what you carve out by the way (or part of it, lest you feel like a November All-Pumpkin Diet)?

No it all goes in the compost bin.

Do you want a recipe for pumpkin soup?
Pumpkin bread?
Pumpkin cookies?
Pumpkin pie?
Won't someone please stop me?

Not particularly 
, I've gazed into the top of enough lobotomised pumpkins to know I don't much fancy eating what is inside.

The stringy part goes in the compost, even here in USakistan. 
We use the flesh of the fruit, but not the rind, for baking and soup.
What varieties of pumpkins do you have over there?

Medium-to-large-sized orange ones.

These medium-to-large-sized orange ones are sold as "Jack-o-Lantern" pumpkins specifically?
Bred for structural strength and an even wall, they're much less flavorful, with a stringy texture, and a somewhat weird aroma.
